Abstract (en)
An executable program is prepared from a plurality of object code modules, each module including relocation instructions having an instruction format which includes a classification field for holding a relocation class indicator and a set of relocation fields for holding relocation data. The meaning of the relocation data depends on the class indicator. The instruction format is common to first and second classes of relocations. The executable program is prepared by reading the relocation instructions and determining from the relocation class indicator the class of the relocation instruction and executing the relocation operations on section data in dependence on the class of relocation instruction indicated by the relocation class indicator. A linker is provided for preparing the executable program from object code modules containing the relocation instructions. A computer program may be provided to control the linker. <IMAGE>
